OK, that's it. There's a sporadic JavaScript alert on that page that asks for confirmation before closing the page, there's a sporadic refresh on load to some advertiser's page (which has a self-starting video ad on it), and now excessive CPU?

They are making a strong case for a spot on my "automatically flag on sight" list.

Torrentfreak is also a sensationalist tabloid blog, you won't miss much by not visiting it. Sorry for the negativity.

Exactly. Javascript, in my opinion, is like Flash: it should be used when needed but not anymore than that.

And NoScript is awesome.
